If we sing, are we nightingales? Shine, are we stars?


I've had this stuck in my head all day. It's a cover of a Prefab Sprout song, slightly reconfigured as bossa nova by Norwegian pop singer Sondre Lerche:


SeeqPod - Playable Search

Layoffs a-poppin' at my office. I'm spared, but lost a copyeditor.

I am really not happy right now.

Let me listen to that song again. Perhaps I'll calm down.

Oh fuck, why do you do this to me, Jim?

Why? I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG.

Do you have a personal vendetta for me? You knew I love Prefab but now you use this opportunity to torture me and fire up Prefab at 8 a.m. on Scotch and Coke.

A job. It's what you should get.

I love this fucking song.

Of course you always know I'm kidding =+)

(Hey, I can be a copyeditor!!!!!!)

Sorry to hear about the layoffs. They are stressful for those who go -- as well as those who stay. We've been dealing with that at my job as well.

Thanks for the song!

Nick: Brace yourself. New Prefab Sprout album due this summer. (The songs aren't newly written--project dates from the early '90s-- but they are, I believe, newly recorded, and produced by Thomas Dolby.) Supposed to come out in the summer.

Gina: Thanks. I was feeling overworked as it was...

I'm sorry. Sending you some good wishes. Take care of yourself and get your sleep and take your vitamins.
